Could we start a meal plan thread again, so it's not lost in the GC?
Just thought this would be quicker reference than what's for dinner or searching through lots of posts? There used to be one a while back, Meal Plan Monday or obviously whatever day you start yours on 🙂 I did post mine in the Grocery challenge, but will post again for anybody that doesn't join in with that thread. Vegan…

La Dolce Vita 2026
Good Morning My Lovely Friends. Welcome to the new thread. Alas the budget for 2026 will be as tight as ever but I'm determined to live La Dolce Vita. What a glorious morning.

Coffee conundrum
Since being made redundant/retiring, my OH has got into bad habits. Although we have a bean to cup proper coffee machine, he has spent around £150 a month on coffees whenever he's out. Driving to see his mum, ( 11/2 hours each way) he'll get a coffee going up and back ( personally I'd need something stronger, but that's…

Instant pot is it worth it?
Instant pots are half price right now and I'm tempted but also worrying about whether it will be worth the initial outlay to save energy costs when cooking? Does anyone have one? What types of things do you cook n it?

O/S Daily Thursday May 14 2026
Good morning, I'm early because back pain woke me. I went to Drs last week and she gave me a prescription for pain killers, but all they seem to do is give me a dry mouth.

Reverse Meal Planning
Not sure if many of you will have tried the reverse-meal plan idea. Rather than buying all the ingredients you need to support your meal-plan, you look at your fridge, freezer and store-cupboard and meal plan from that, minimising what you shop for.
